lyrics

When I was growing up
On my quiet street
I dreamed of this, though I didn’t know it then.
The washing on the line
Blowing in the bitter wind
Seemed to me to be another laughing friend.

And time rolls by right before my eyes
And I know why there’s no reason to regret.

So I look up at the sky
And dream about the day
I lose all track of time
I’m finally on my way.

When I was growing up
The summers were so long
Making daisy chains and falling off trampolines
We’d make cubbies, we’d build forts
We’d play the whole day long
‘Til the street lights told us it was time to take it home.

When I’m in this old town, and you’re around
My mind slows down, and you whisper in my ear.

Can we look up at the sky
And dream about the day?
We’ll lose all track of time
We’ll be finally on our way.

I’ve been moved by the wind like the autumn leaves
Scattering like memories in the sun
There’s no room for tears in my mind
Only laughter and memories of you.

Now we look up at the sky
And dream about the day
We lose all track of time
Now we look up at the sky
And dream about the day
We lose all track of time
We’re finally on our way.
